Should seven year old children be taught sex education? This would mean Boo, would be learning this so-called ‘age appropriate sex education.’ in another three and half years. I am totally against it. In a statement, David Laws, the education minister, has said that academies and free schools should have to teach sex and relationship…
Getting children to eat fruit and vegetables can be quite a task. I remember those heady days of weaning when my little Boo would eat anything. -Fast forward to now and, while she still loves all kinds of fruit, vegetables can be a bit of a nightmare to get in her. The ubiquitous peas and…
Recently we were sent a delightful box of treats from St Helen’s Farm. I met them at a blogging event in May and made a bee-line for them as I felt at ease with fellow farmers in the midst of trendy bloggers. I left my details with them and they got in touch after the…
This week has all been about the seaside. We already made bunting for our beach hut (it’s a plastic play house but we can dream). Thanks to bit of on-the-spot thinking however, our dreams have become a reality. The sun has shone all week which helps but I brought the beach to us. Last winter…
Have you ever had the feeling you were being followed? It’s happened to Boo and I for a week now and strange things seemed to turn up in unexpected locations. Take last weekend. We went strawberry picking at our local fruit farm. In one of the strawberry patches, we saw a small bear carefully wrapped,…
This weekend we did something lovely as a family. We visited a nearby farm and went strawberry picking. It was with nostalgia that we went as Hubster had taken me to Kenyon Hall Farm on one of our very first dates so it was lovely going back as a family. I couldn’t quite believe Hubster had said…
A lot of people say their kitchen is the heart of their home but I don’t think anyone can say this and mean it more than a farmer’s wife. For us it us such a multi-functional room. I cook there-three meals a day most days so I spend a LOT of my time in there….
It has been so hot this week so really, there was only one thing for it-the paddling pool had to come out. I say come out, I had to buy a new one. Last year we had a brilliant plastic one which, after Hubster ‘tidied’ away the outdoor toys in Autumn, mysteriously disappeared, feared burnt…
This linky is for bloggers who have been blogging for a year or less. It’s your chance to link up your favourite post of the week. It’s a great way to find new blogs to read and to raise your blogs profile. Binky is the American term for a dummy which babies obviously use. I…
The last time I wrote a gardening post was back in April. In those two to three months, there has been a veritable explosion in my tubs. Little seedlings have sprouted and gone mad. The weather has helped. Wet, warm, wet, warm. We have had some disasters. The netting didn’t always keep the pests away….
